The recipe is rather easy. The pickles have an excellent flavour without the work of canning. The result is a tasty, crisp pickle. Unlike other pickle recipes "no" cooking is necessary. The recipe can be halved or doubled if desired. I like to freeze in the 14 oz (414 ml) zip loc containers. This is a nice size that tends to get used up within a meal or two. To use, simply defrost the container in the fridge and serve. Here's the recipe. I've included a note at the end of the recipe since I prefer to do the pickles that way.

Hi Busy Mom and thanks for visiting. There are a large number of canning, drying and freezing posts in the archives. You can search for them using the search box in the welcome section at the beginning of the blog or you can click on any of the labels under the archives section in the lower sidebar. Any canning, drying and freezing I do for 2010 will be posted as well if it is a new recipe or I've changed something in a recipe already posted. So there should be several more recipes/methods added for 2010.
